Unveiling the Silent Revolution: Beyond Words and Wars
Lyrics
The revolution will be televised in a modern book
The revolution will be broadcasted or shown on television in a contemporary manner, possibly through media or documentation.
Face to face with a race that has been run to oblivion
Direct encounter or confrontation with a group or society that has reached destruction or a state of being forgotten.
But does anybody really care?
Questioning whether anyone genuinely cares about the situation or the revolution.
'Free the Guildford Four!"
Refers to a specific slogan advocating for the release of wrongfully convicted individuals known as the Guildford Four.
Was a slogan we would roar as we took to the streets
Expressing loudly and proudly a rallying cry while taking to the streets as a form of protest.
We were marching on our feet but we're not marching
Although physically mobilized, there's a lack of emotional or ideological drive or motivation to continue fighting.
We're not fighting no more war
Stating the cessation of engaging in warfare or conflict.
You see I'm worried there's a hole in your head
Anxiety about a mental vulnerability or weakness in someone, symbolized as a hole letting negativity (rain) enter.
Where the rain is creeping in
Metaphorically suggests a sense of melancholy or pessimism infiltrating one's thoughts or mind.
And the drone of The Dead is beginning to seep in
Alludes to the overwhelming influence or impact of societal disillusionment or despair (referred to as 'The Dead').
And you're giving up, giving up, giving up
Repeatedly losing hope or surrendering to despair.
The revolution will be criticised by the World elite
Predicting that influential or powerful figures will critique or oppose the revolution unless it aligns with their interests.
Unless it suits their agenda to overthrow those they've armed to the teeth

Hypothetical in words and phrases,
Describing the discussion about the revolution in hypothetical terms, not as an actual occurrence.
Circling the cages
Symbolically refers to people confined or trapped and repetitively discussing the revolution.
Scribbling in pages and hurling on a ditch of words
Depicts the act of writing extensively but not contributing effectively to the revolution.
You see I'm worried there's a hole in your head

Where the rain is creeping in
A repetition of the metaphorical idea of negativity infiltrating one's thoughts or mind.
And the drone of The Dead is beginning to seep in
Continued influence or dominance of societal disillusionment or despair.
And you're giving up, giving up, giving up
Recurring theme of giving up hope or surrendering to despair.
The revolution will be you and me
Asserts that the revolution involves the collective effort of ordinary individuals.
If you want it to be
Implies that individuals have the power to be a part of the revolution if they actively choose to do so.
Just as long as you don't give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up
Encouragement to persist and not relinquish efforts towards the revolution despite challenges or hardships.
Give it up, give it up
Reiteration of the importance of not giving up in the face of adversity.
Just as long as you don't give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up
